Popis: Abstract To accurately measure the vaginal mucosa thickness across different age groups using histopathologic techniques and investigate the factors that may influence the thickness changes. This study aims to provide clinicians with objective evidence of variations in vaginal mucosal thickness, facilitating personalized medical decisions for patients. A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 348 patients who underwent local vaginal wall resection at the West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, from January 2021 and May 2022. The thickness of vaginal mucosa, epithelium and lamina propria was measured precisely under the microscope. And the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile values of vaginal mucosa thickness across different age groups were counted and charted a dot-line plot. The percentile values for vaginal mucosa thickness exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing age; vaginal mucosa thickness showed significant correlations with times of delivery (P = 0.031) and age (P
